Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee ® on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election “decided by ballots rather than bullets” if former President Trump doesn’t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.
In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former president’s orbit.
“If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,” Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.
Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying “to make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024″ and “to destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.” He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are “conspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.”
Did Huckabees just threaten another insurrection?
An extremely violent one at that. Now, let’s watch how quickly nothing continues to happen as a result of it.
Long-term, I very much doubt (and very much hope) you’re right.
I hope they don’t mind waiting a few months for me to move out of my shithole state first.
Maybe the Trump case sets some kind of new precedent that means desperate politicians using violent rhetoric like this will face real consequences?
